Today was Wyatt's birthday. I found myself at 11:30 this morning thinking of how time had flown and how with each child that it just seems to go by quicker and quicker. It has been a quick two years, but two years of JOY--pure joy!
I never knew when that almost 10lb baby boy was taken out of my belly what a ray of sunshine he was going to be to our family. From early on, he has always been laid back, calm, and in a weird way, I've always pictured him as having a ton of wisdom. I have always pictured him as being a minister full of compassion for everyone. The picture first would come to my mind as he was always--no matter when you picked him up--laying his head on your shoulder and patting you on the back. It wasn't so much him laying his head on our shoulder that got me. It was the patting you on the back. It was the patting that seems to say so many things. I love you Mom! I love you Dad! Good job! Don't worry! I'm here to reassure you! It is amazing that a barely two year old can exude wisdom and compassion, but he does.
In the past month, he has started a new thing that just seems to confirm my image of him. He has started preaching. In so many ways, it is just hilarious. He will pick up his tiny new Testament, open it up, act like he is reading and begin to pace back in forth. Next thing you now he is shouting and stompin them feet. It is the cutest thing ever. Like I said earlier, he has brought so much joy to our lives and it has been a precious two years. I'm sure there will be so many more smiles coming from him and I can't wait to enjoy every one of them.
